Post card reproduction of water colour by Kay Ohsten of North Green Farm Pulham St Mary (Jack Adams) (Kay Ohsten's daughter, Lucy, remembers her mother's compulsion to work whether out and about or in her studio at the farm. Kay was born in 1935, a graduate of The Norwich School of Art where she later taught graphic design. She was a member of the Norwich 20 group, a prestigious collection of the County's very best. She trained as a draughtswoman so her accuracy for perspective and architectural correctness was beyond reproach. However she was very much an impressionist. She passed away in 2003.)
